LADY~
LUCK
MORGANTOWN-Lady
l
u
c
k
plays
an
important
role
in
everyone's
life
at
one
time
or
another.
The
life
of
20
year-old
Nathaniel
Isish
Stephens
Jr.
is
no
exception.
Nearly
four
years
ago
his
father,
Nathaniel
ST.,
was
one
of
21
lucky
coal
miners
to
be
rescued
from
the
exploding
Farmington
No.
9
coal
mine,
which
claimed
the
lives
of
79
men.
Just
17
days
later,
the
elder
Stephens
and
his
wife
watched
proudly
as
their
son,
Nate
Jr.,
inked
a
football
grant-in-aid
with
West
Virginia
University.
Now
in
the
summer
of
1972
plans
are
being
finalized
for
the
fast
approaching
grid
season,
which'
will
wind
up
Nate's
collegiate
days
and
possibly
his
football
career
forever.
It
should
be
an
exciting
year
for
Mountaineer
fans
and
hopefully
a
re-i
warding
one
for
the
lanky
tight
end.
The
6-3
physical
education
major
believes
"we
have
the
potential
for
a
great
year."
Looking
ahead
to
1
the'
coming
action,
he
claims
"it
also
could
be
disappointing.
We
must
get
the
breaks.
So
much
depends
on
lady
luck."
Then
he
adds,
"just
look
back
at
last
fall's
Penn
State
game
Â·and
yon
know
what
I
mean."
Of
course
it
takes
more
than
luck
to
have
a
winning
combina-

tion.
According
to
the
former
the
National
Football
League-
Farmington
High
three
sports
star,
"you
must
have
a
great
team
which
is
willing
to
work
as
a
unit.
In
addition
each
man
must
get
together
'Hs
own
confidence
to
be
able
to^bandle
his
duties
properly."
Stephens
is
anxiously
awaiting
the
,'72
action.
He
feels
he's
finally
gained
the
confidence
necessary
to
do
a
great
job
for
the.
Mountaineers.
:
As
he,
puts
it,
"now
I
really
feel
at
home
on
the
field.
I
believe.that
I
can
fulfill
any
duty
asked
of
me
by
Bernie
(Galiffa)
and
the
coaches."
When
did
the
Mountaineers
second
leading
receiver
of
a
year
ago,
realize
that
-he's
Â·eady?
"Actually,
it

about
midway
through
last
season"
Stephens
recalls.
"Then
after
our
spring
practice
this
year,
I
was
sure
I'd
be
set
to
make
a
this
fall."
great
contribution
IT
TOOK
NATE
a
long-time
to
get
his
confidence,
because
of
a
few
events
leading
up
to
his
college
career.
.
First'
was
the
football
tradition
at
Farmingtqta,
which
produced
two
all-Pr'6
standouts
in
Frank
Gatske,
a
center
with
the
Cleveland
1
Browns,
and
then
famous
number
70,
Sam
was
an
All-American
at
West
Virginia
before
becoming
an
all-Pro
linebacker
with
the
New
York
Giants
and
Washington
Redskins..
Second,
a
lot
of
people
felt
Stephens
was
choosing
the
wrong
sport.
In
high
school
his
all-state
honors
also
came
oto
(he
basketball
court
where
he
averaged
nearly
30
points
a
game.
In
addition,
Nate's
first
cousin
Hubie
Bryant
of
Pittsburg
was
winding
up
a
college
career
at
Minnesota
and
moving
on
to
pro
football.
Upon
arrival
on
the
campus
in
Morgantown,
the
170
pound
split
end
found
himself
surrounded
by
players
with
outstanding
credentials
including
All-America
and
aB-state
honors.
Compounding
the
issue
was
the
fact
that
during
the
frosh
season,
the
team
stayed
primarily
on
the
ground.
Nate
caught
just
one
pass
that
year.
AS
A
SOPHOMORE
in
1970,
playing
behind
Chris
Potts,
Stephens
managed
to
catch
16
aerials
for
356
yards,
but
he
failed
to
score.
He
had
a
chance
to
against
Maryland,
but
with
only
25
yards
left
and
a
clear
field
ahead
he
fumbled
the
football.
Last
fall
Head
Coach,
Bobby
Bowden
and
staff
was
presented
with
the
task
of
finding
a
suitable
replacement
at
tight
end
tor
graduated
All-American
Jim
Braxton,
now
of
the
Buffalo
Bills.
Because
of
his
size
ajuj
blocking
ability,
Stephens
was
the
logical
choice.
Nate
is
happy
about
moving
to
tight
end.
"With
all
the
speed
coining
up
in
such
players
as
Harry
Blake,
I
figured
I'd
have
more
of
a
chance
to
play
at
the
new
position,"
he
Says.
He
-responded
by
catching
24
passes
for
393
yards
and
two

his
first
since
high
school.
His
totals
came
in
just
eight
games
as
the
missed
three
because
of
an
mjnry.
Besides
gaining
confidence,
the
glue-fingered
pass
catcher
has
added
nearly
25
pounds
to
his
6-3
frame,
which
will
help
fall
when
he
has
to
battle
the
giant
collegiate
linemen.
He
hopes
to
add
five
more
putting
him
at
210
when

whistle

Now
if
lady
luck
will
just
co-operate.
